Academic advising, signing up for fall classes, campus tours, social activities, and meeting current and new UC Irvine students are included in the SPOP experience.

The International Student Orientation (ISO) is a three-day-two-night program that offers many of the same elements as SPOP, but is tailored to the unique needs of international students who did not attend high school in the United States. ISO is offered once in September.

International freshmen who did not attend high school in the U.S. will be required to attend ISO. International freshmen who did attend high school in the U.S. will have the option of attending SPOP or ISO, but are encouraged to attend SPOP. Domestic freshmen are required to attend SPOP.
